2. Improved the FANUC OPC UA driver. When building the device tree, axes and spindles are now grouped under their corresponding channels.
3. Improved the category selector on the Analytics page. Button sizes now adapt more naturally to their content and the available page width. The overall page layout has also been refined so that the appearance or disappearance of the browser scrollbar no longer causes content to shift when switching between pages.

Bug Fixes

1. Fixed an issue that could occur when creating an IFM driver.
2. Fixed a race condition during parallel compilation of identical scripts. Simultaneous compilation of the same script no longer results in thread conflicts, assembly write conflicts, or unnecessary recompilation.
3. Fixed rendering artifacts where tooltips from the Gantt chart could remain visible on other pages.
4. Disabled the default HTTP resilience handler to reduce unnecessary Polly log entries generated by automatic request retries.

New Features and Improvements

1. Redesigned the main Analytics page to improve usability and align it with modern user interface standards.

The suggestion list also opens automatically when an empty input field receives focus.
4. Moved the ticket panel in the Operator Workplace to a dedicated tab, matching the layout used in the Supervisor Workplace.
5. Improved the 2D mimic diagram editor by removing the fixed maximum tile size of 400 × 400 pixels. Tile size is now limited only by the available workspace. Resizing the workspace has also been improved to preserve the size of existing tiles.
6. Improved the NC Program comparison tool by removing unnecessary scrolling, making the right-hand pane read-only, and refining header rendering. The "NC Program Execution" panel in the Operator Workplace has also been updated with clearer labels and improved display of information, including NC programs defined in technologies and the full program path on the machine.

Bug Fixes

1. Fixed an issue where production records could be assigned to the wrong work shift when a production order contained only a single recorded production event.
2. Fixed processing of signal rules with an Undefined state in signal configurations shared across multiple work centers. Signal timers are now correctly reset when a trigger changes from On to Undefined, preventing unintended signal activation.
3. Improved handling of downtime records that could remain open in exceptional situations, such as a system shutdown during an update. After the system resumes operation, such downtime records are now processed correctly, classified if necessary, and automatically closed.

New Features and Improvements

1. Fixed the NC program comparison behavior in the Gantt chart. When a program downloaded from the machine is successfully matched with a program from the repository, the corresponding NC program is now automatically selected for comparison.
2. Updated the documentation for configuring logging with Serilog, Syslog, Elasticsearch, and Azure Application Insights.

Bug Fixes

1. Fixed a bug in the device tree creation script for Fanuc OPC UA.

New Features and Improvements

1. Added support for module indicators in the following dashboard types: 2D Mimic Diagram, 3D Mimic Diagram, Operational Diagram (Custom), and Indicator Panel.
2. Implemented automatic restoration of the DPA Server configuration after an unexpected shutdown. This improves system stability and reduces the risk of issues during subsequent DPA Server startup. Because apparently software, much like humans, occasionally exits in dramatic fashion.
3. Added support for transferring “StateFull” data (value with status) between system components. This ensures end-to-end delivery of data received from the OPC UA Driver without losing status information.
4. Added the “Category” and “Note” fields to the NC Program Loader. The corresponding columns are hidden by default.
5. Improved the NC program comparison window opened from the Gantt chart. When switching to the comparison tab, the currently downloaded NC program is now displayed on the left, while the right side remains empty until an NC program is selected from the repository. Labels have been added above both comparison panes, and the repository selection button has been moved to the right side of the dialog for improved usability.
6. Refactored the core dashboard page UI components to reduce technical debt and simplify future system maintenance.
7. Improved the user selection dialog for ticket reassignment by highlighting the current assignee in the user list. Selecting the current assignee no longer triggers a redundant reassignment.
8. Added validation to prevent the creation of state triggers based on the same snapshots or states.

Bug Fixes

1. Fixed an issue that could cause false trigger activation for downtime signals configured with a specific reason and minimum duration when the downtime was classified before the configured duration had elapsed.
2. Fixed an issue affecting signals configured with trigger rules based on “Message” events.
3. Fixed an issue where selected downtime reasons could lose their selection during multiple classification in the Operator Workplace and Supervisor Workplace.
4. Fixed issues affecting the virtual driver when using a manual NC program.

1. Optimized the Sl7 (Sinumerik) driver.
2. Improved parameter validation. When searching for subprograms in the repository, file paths are now taken into account, with priority given to the closest matching path.
3. Improved the display of program and subprogram names in the Gantt chart. When there is insufficient space to display the full name, priority is now given to the rightmost part of the name, the actual program or subprogram name, rather than the file path.
4. Improved the “Plan Analysis with Material Consumption” report. On the “Consumption” tab, the width of the daily consumption columns has been optimized, and all quantity and consumption values are now displayed in a consistent format with two decimal places.
5. Optimized data processing in the Tool microservice.
6. Implemented internal service infrastructure improvements. Standard service configuration, including OpenTelemetry, service discovery, resilience, and health check endpoints, is now applied consistently across all environments.
7. Replaced the NC program comparison tool in the Operator Workplace with the new comparison tool used throughout the rest of the system.
8. Refactored the user interface components for working with media files to reduce technical debt and simplify future system maintenance.
9. Performed internal refactoring to separate machine and non-machine data models, reducing technical debt and simplifying future system maintenance.
10. Moved the storage selection and data retention period settings from individual indicators to the system-level configuration. Individual indicators can still override the default retention period if required. The in-memory data retention settings for indicators have been removed.

1. Added settings for finding suitable scheduling times for jobs in the Planning module. Two search options are currently available: “Start no earlier than” and “Start at a specific time”.
2. Added the “Allow downtime classification for the previous period, hours” setting for supervisors and operators. It limits the classification period to the specified value, with a default of 12 hours. The behavior of the “Downtime Classification” permission has also been changed: it now allows downtime classification regardless of whether the user is a supervisor or operator and regardless of the configured classification period. Supervisors and operators do not require the “Downtime Classification” permission and can classify downtime within the period specified by the setting above.
3. Added a dedicated error message when scheduling using process plans with unspecified standard times.
4. Implemented internal improvements to the “Signals” module and improvements related to client-side event models.

2. Added validation for the “Quantity” column when scheduling across multiple work centers to prevent scheduling when the quantity is not specified.

New Features and Improvements

1. Improved the state provider editor. For the Simple provider, field names are now prefilled with the expected values while remaining editable for scenarios involving custom states. For the Script provider, the expected field names have also been added to the script template. Reference information with valid Enum values for standard states has been added to the UI to simplify configuration and script development.
2. Updated job scheduling logic in the “Planning” module. Job start times are now calculated based on the nearest available working time in the work center schedule, taking previously scheduled jobs and the standard time specified in the process plan into account, rather than from the current time. The “Calculate” button has been renamed to “Schedule”. Scheduling uses a minimum time increment of 30 minutes, and the earliest possible job start time is 60 minutes from the current time.
3. Added the ability to schedule a job across multiple work centers in the “Planning” module. Users can run scheduling for one, several, or all selected work centers. The planned start time, planned end time, and quantity can be adjusted manually for each work center.
4. Optimized machine data queries in the “Gantt Chart” analytics.
5. Removed support for template parameter validation. Multiple fixes have been made to custom scripts used for JSON parameter validation.

8. Fixed an issue where the virtual driver could delay event delivery from other drivers.
9. DPA Server. OPC UA Driver: fixed a memory leak that could occur when the connection to OPC UA servers was lost.

IMPORTANT!

This release contains a significant number of changes. Due to changes in the database structure and indexes, the upgrade process may take a considerable amount of time.

This release also includes critical changes that may affect the operation of: 1) Signals 2.0 scripts; 2) custom reports.

Before performing the upgrade, you must: 1) create a backup of the database; 2) create a backup of the DPA Server configuration.

Please also note that version 7.0 requires license updates for DPA Server, DPA Host, and all microservices in use.

New Features and Improvements

1. Implemented a new Foreman Workplace with a responsive layout, expanded functionality, and an improved, redesigned user interface. The following changes were also made:

   • implemented a new Maintenance Workplace for working with tickets;
   • partially redesigned the Operator Workplace with functional and visual improvements;
   • added the “Mechanic” role for the Maintenance Workplace and removed the “Specialist” role;
   • redesigned the main ticket workflow;
   • removed several extensions related to the workplaces;
   • removed several API methods related to the legacy Foreman Workplace;
   • added the necessary database indexes to improve performance.

2. Simplified the state model by removing server-side states. The new model is simpler and more flexible: when creating a driver state, it no longer needs to be linked to a pre-created server-side state. The fields of a driver state are now defined by the state itself, depending on the provider:

   • for the Simple provider, this is a set of fields mapped to snapshot values;
   • for the Script provider, this is a set of fields returned by the script.

   In both cases, the set of state fields and their names can be changed freely. However, the settings of the corresponding indicators must be updated accordingly, as indicators are linked to fields by name.

3. Several internal asynchronous methods have been changed. As a result:

   • The following Signals 2.0 handlers will no longer compile:

     • AbsentOperatorHandler
     • HandlerClassifyAdjustmentDowntime
     • IndicatorDowntimeClassifierHandler
     • ClassificationOfDowntimeByCodeHandler
     • RecipeHelper

   • The following driver configurations will be updated:

     • Heidenhain
     • Heidenhain TNC640
     • Syntec

   • Custom Excel reports may stop working.

4. Added mechanisms to support cancellation of report and analytics execution. All reports and most analytics now support asynchronous execution, improving resource utilization. Data providers have been redesigned to optimize memory usage, along with numerous internal improvements to the codebase. IMPORTANT! all custom client reports must be updated accordingly!

5. Internally optimized reports by removing an unnecessary dependency, simplifying the architecture and maintenance.

6. Redesigned the work center and department selection component. Fixed issues related to the display of selected items.

7. Improved user profile handling in the work center and department selector. All profile actions have been moved to a context menu, unnecessary API requests and UI re-renders have been eliminated to improve performance, and the visual design has been enhanced.

8. Moved the “Only work centers from the technology stage” option in the work center selector of the “Planning” module to the modal window footer.

9. Changed technologies so that their components are now represented by products rather than product versions. Corresponding changes have also been made to the XSD schema.

10. Implemented cancellation of obsolete Gantt requests when switching between dashboards, preventing stalled requests from blocking data loading. Requests are now also canceled when the Gantt chart is reloaded using the corresponding UI button.

11. Improved the “Work Center Utilization (with Downtime Reasons)” analytics: added information about the number of downtimes, improved the visual presentation of state and downtime bars, and added the ability to pin the work center information popup.

12. Fixed data generation for analytics based on work center state, channel state, and channel mode when the requested period starts after the latest available data in the system.

13. Added a confirmation prompt when completing a job in the Operator Workplace.

14. Updated DataObjects.Net to version 7.2.1.

15. Implemented internal improvements related to the creation and handling of client-side event models.

16. Improved the schedule template editor: when entering a time manually, users can now select a specific day. Also fixed issues that could prevent manual time entry in certain cases.

17. Developed the custom “Work Center Utilization (with Downtime and Setup Reasons)” report for exporting data to Excel via Power Query.

18. Developed documentation for XML integration.

19. Implemented internal improvements and optimizations to the “Signals” module.

20. Removed obsolete and unused components to simplify system maintenance and future development.

21. Implemented internal improvements and optimizations to reduce technical debt.
